What's new in CiteInPages 1.05

Aug 28, 2013
  • A problem occurred in Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8) in which the duplicated Pages file was not recognized. A 1 second delay was added to the scripts just before calling Pages to process the document copy and this appears to fix the issue. This problem seems similar to the problem noted previously during file duplication (see OldCIPReleaseNotes), which was also fixed by introducing a delay. The file duplication and processing requires coordination of Pages, BibDesk, and the Finder; it may be that Apple's interapplication communication requires some time to propagate new information between programs running in different threads, and the delays allow things to catch up. If you have comments on this or notice any other problems, please feel free to let me know. Current testing targets OSX 10.8.2, Pages 4.2, and BibDesk 1.5.10.

New in CiteInPages 1.03 (Dec 7, 2009)

  • Julian Catchen identified one problem with Snow Leopard (OSX 10.6), the necessity to "activate" the Finder before attempting to retrieve file paths, and contributed a simple fix.
  • A workaround was also added to make the scripts better behaved in situations where a template may not add a return to the end of an entry in a bibliography list, causing concatenation of that entry with the subsequent one.
  • This yielded fewer bibliography list items than expected and previously caused a paragraph number index error. That is handled now with the option to continue without the error and separate the items manually after the script finishes.

New in CiteInPages 1.02 (Jan 12, 2009)

  • File path processing and file duplication at the start of the script were simplified to address Pages 4 compatibility and problems that some users have had with errors related to file duplication.
  • Minor coding changes were made for Applescript compatibility in Tiger.
  • The feedback box in the author-date and alpha-numbered scripts was relocated for better aesthetics.
  • An updated text citation script (Pages 4 only) automatically pads inserted citations with the correct spacing; the previous version is also provided for Pages 3 compatibility.
